I wondering how the ticket sales

are doing? I know we were closing in on 45K a week ago, how’s that look now?

If they do sell 45K, is that an unmitigated success for the live gate?

Just to quantify that a little bit, on StubHub, the Pac-Clottey fight is going for $45 at the cheapest. On the other hand the cheapest Mosley-May ticket on StubHub is $372. Huge difference right there and that is the cheapest tix.

That'll change IMO

I see big price drops and comps for Mayweather-Mosley.

i don't

as someone who was thinking of going, all the tickets 150 & 300 and under are sold out. so, no, i would say you are wrong. The 1250 floor seats are also all gone. All that’s left are some 600, 1000, and 1250 seats.

They can't sell the cheap seats in the stadium for much more (if at all more) than the price of watching on PPV

Face value of those tickets is only $50. They’re still getting a decent site fee for the event though.

I think it’s close to the high-end of what they expected and what they should reasonable have expected. It also says a lot about Manny Pacquiao’s name value, because nobody knows who the hell Joshua Clottey is.

It’s a success, but even with about 30,000 less fans, Mayweather-Mosley is going to do a bigger gate.
